Pendulum Toy

A tiny change can lead to a completely different path. Pendulum Toy is an interactive playground for motion and chaos. Build a pendulum with 2 to 6 connected segments, set it swinging, and watch colorful trails trace its movement. Then release up to 256 pendulums from almost identical starting positions and see how quickly their paths diverge. Make each experiment your own: • Adjust the starting angle, fold, and curvature • Change the number and lengths of the segments • Control speed, damping, and how long the trails remain visible • Drag your finger to attract the final weight • Hide the pendulums to watch only their trails • Pinch to zoom, pause the motion, or reset and try again Choose a light or black background to bring out the patterns. Your settings are saved, so you can pick up where you left off. Whether you’re curious about chaotic motion or simply want to watch something mesmerizing unfold, Pendulum Toy invites you to experiment.
